Thanks guys for all the nice complements. I thought the CCWs would be a different wheel on the car and I love how they look on the car.

The BCs have been great so far ... just need to get everything dialed in.

Painted Bits On (well part of the way) ... still need to put on the painted door handles, and the Cooper Gas Door, and painted headlight rings.













If you cant tell whats been added the car now has the following:

-Euro Fender Trim (removes the ugly reflectors)
-Challenge Car Front Lip (from the OEM Mini Challenge Race Cars)
-Painted Trim (fenders, lip, tail light rings, side skirt trim, rear bumper trim)
-Took the block out of the hood scoop to allow cooler air in

Im shooting for Redline's Spring Mountain event here in Vegas in September

Since its running stock class your not going to see me going crazy ripping out interior and such as its required for the class. I have some aero to finish up and next is interior safety (seats, harnesses, rollbar) then on to engine stuff.

Very nice Mini. Looking at it makes me miss my old 05 Hyper Blue Cooper S..

Love how you are "dechroming" the thing! Not the biggest fan of the wheels. To bright in my uppinion. Any pics of it with the Volk wheels?
